Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 17, 2023, BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive data from its Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM clinical trial of acoramidis for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company intends to host a conference call and live webcast to discuss the clinical data on July 17, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. E.T. The Company has made available a slide presentation to accompany the call, a copy of which is being furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 | Other Events.

On July 17, 2023, the Company announced positive data from its Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM clinical trial of acoramidis for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
Key results from the clinical trial include:

| • | A highly statistically significant improvement in the primary endpoint (a hierarchical analysis prioritizing in order: all-cause mortality, then frequency of cardiovascular-related hospitalization, then change from baseline in NT-proBNP, then change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance) demonstrated by a Win Ratio of 1.8 (p<0.0001).

| • | An 81% on-treatment survival rate (versus a 74% survival rate on placebo), which begins to approach actuarial models of life expectancy absent ATTR-CM (85% in this population as has been documented). The absolute risk reduction was 6.43% and the relative risk reduction was 25%.

| • | A highly statistically significant relative risk reduction of 50% (p<0.0001) on frequency of cardiovascular-related hospitalization. The impact and marked magnitude of risk reduction was seen across all analytical methods employed.

| • | The Company consistently observed a statistically significant treatment effect at 30 months across additional measured markers of morbidity, quality of life, and function:

| o | Change from baseline in N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (p<0.0001)

| o | Change from baseline in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (p<0.0001)

| o | Change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance (p<0.0001)

| • | No safety signals of potential clinical concern were identified.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and certain of the materials filed and furnished herewith contain forward-looking statements. Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K or the materials furnished or filed herewith may include statements that are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. The Company intends these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the clinical, therapeutic and market potential of the Company’s programs and product candidates, including its clinical development program for acoramidis for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, the timing and success of its clinical development programs, the progress of its ongoing and planned clinical trials of acoramidis for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, including its plans to file a new NDA with the FDA by end of year 2023, its planned interactions with regulatory authorities, the availability of data from its clinical trials of acoramidis, and the timing of these events, reflect its current views about its plans, intentions, expectations and strategies, which are based on the information currently available to the Company and on assumptions it has made. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions, expectations and strategies as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, initial and ongoing data from the Company’s clinical trials not being indicative of final data, the design and success of ongoing and planned clinical trials, difficulties with enrollment in its clinical trials, adverse events that may be encountered in its clinical trials, the FDA or other regulatory agencies not agreeing with its regulatory approval strategies, components of its filings, such as clinical trial designs, conduct and methodologies, or the sufficiency of data submitted, potential adverse impacts due to the global COVID-19 pandemic such as delays in regulatory review, manufacturing and supply chain interruptions, adverse effects on healthcare systems and disruption of the global economy, the impacts of current macroeconomic and geopolitical events, including changing conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic, hostilities in Ukraine, increasing rates of inflation and rising interest rates, on its overall business operations and expectations, as well as those risks set forth in the Risk Factors section of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and its other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment in which new risks emerge from time to time. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of the Company’s management as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
